The group pressed on as the compass guided them through twisting passages where Decrint Tribe warriors lunged from alcoves, their bone weapons glinting with foreign energy.
Jiang Jianxin's flying swords danced, slicing through sinew and bone, while Li Ruo's archer and the disciples' summons held the flanks. The battles were swift but draining, their spiritual energy reserves dipping with each skirmish.
The second dead end was a trap. A concealed pit lined with bone spikes, triggered when a disciple's [Mistveil Sorceress] stepped on a hidden formation. The sorceress dissolved into motes of light, and the disciple stumbled back, saved only by the lightning-quick reflexes of the Sword Fairy, sending one of her swords below their feet.
Jiang Jianxin cursed under her breath, her spiritual energy now at 35%. "Stay sharp. The compass is pointing to the last dead end. If it's not our exit, we're going to use Shopkeeper's [Emergency Escape Talisman]."
"Yes!"
